Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto

Jakarta –

Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto sorry for failing to donate a medal Asian Games 2023. They hope to be able to return to their proper track.

Compete at Binjiang Gymnasium, Hangzhou, China, on Thursday (5/10/2023), Fajar/Rian lost in two straight games 19-21, 18-21 to the Taiwanese pair Lee Yang/Wang Chi-Lin.

This defeat meant that Fajar/Rian, who won a silver medal at the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta, failed to contribute a medal in this edition. They also apologized to all Indonesian people.

“We apologize to the Indonesian people for not being able to give medals to Indonesia,” said Rian in a written statement from PBSI.

“Hopefully in the future we can be even better and hopefully we can slowly get back on track,” he continued.

Fajar/Rian admit that they are in a difficult period. They have not recovered from their downturn since becoming champions of All England 2023. Their performance in international tournaments tends to be inconsistent.

“Every player definitely has pressure to achieve better. Maybe maintaining is more difficult than getting, so in this position we have to be more patient and work harder,” said Fajar.

“We ask for the support of all parties, hopefully the difficult situation we are experiencing will not last long and we can recover quickly. We can find our self-confidence again,” stressed Fajar.

Indonesia still has two representatives remaining in badminton who will compete this afternoon in the quarter-finals. Namely, Anthony Sinisuka Ginting will face the host representatives, Li Shi Feng and Gregoria Mariska Tunjung who will meet Japanese representative Aya Ohori.

Hangzhou –

Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto failed to continue step in Asian Games 2023. They were stopped by Lee Yang/Wang Chi Lin in straight games in the quarterfinals.

Fajar/Rian faced the Taiwanese doubles at Binjian Gymnasiun, Hangzhou, Thursday (5/10/2023) morning WIB. The Indonesian doubles, ranked number one in the world, lost 19-21 and 18-21.

Lee/Wang appeared aggressive from the start of the first game and pushed Fajar/Rian. They continued to lead until the interval, when Fajar/Rian managed to take the lead 13-12.

The points tally continues to be tight. However, the composure of Lee/Wang, the 2020 Olympic champions, ensured they were ahead at critical points and took the first game 21-19.

It was also about calm that seemed to make it difficult for Fajar/Rian to overcome Lee/Wang. They made a number of mistakes, including inaccurate and responsible returns.

Fajar/Rian had difficulty getting out of the pressure, until finally they had to give up 18-21. This means that Indonesia only has to pin its hopes on two numbers, namely men’s singles and women’s singles.

Anthony Ginting and Gregoria Mariska Tunjung will still appear this afternoon.

Jakarta –

Indonesian men’s doubles Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto will appear in the quarterfinals of the individual badminton event Asian Games 2023, Thursday (5/10/2023). They are very wary of Lee Yang/Wang Chi-Lin who are their opponents.

Fajar/Rian will be challenged by Lee Yang/Wang Chi-Lin from Taiwan at Binjiang Gymnasium, Hangzhou, China. The Red-White mainstay must be wary of the gold medal winner at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Because, in the quarterfinal phase anything can happen. Look at performance Fajar/Rian the latter has decreased. Meanwhile, Lee/Wang’s performance is in a revival trend ahead Asian Games 2023.

After experiencing a downturn last year, Lee/Wang showed their existence again by winning the 2023 Japan Open last July. Then became a semifinalist at the 2023 Australian Open.

Indeed, this achievement did not last long because at the 1000 level, World Championship and China Open, Lee/Wang lost again in the early rounds. But then they bounced back to become semifinalists at the Hong Kong Open in mid-September.

It turns out that Fajar/Rian also realized Lee/Wang’s awakening. For this reason, they will prepare themselves even more, especially regarding physical matters.

“They are extraordinary players. The last time we met was at the Japan Open, at that time they rose and became champions. We have to be aware of their energy and speed, especially since they didn’t play today,” said Fajar in a quick quote via PBSI.

Apart from that, Fajar also feels that he has not yet returned to his best game. This situation cannot be separated from the lack of field trials after losing in the team event, so it had quite an impact on his playing pattern.

“I feel like the touches on the ball aren’t quite right yet. I’m still looking for more, feeling again. Especially when my baited ball for attack sets often gets caught in the net,” he said.

Meanwhile, Rian admitted that he was still not playing optimally. He was determined to perform better in the party Asian Games 2023 Wednesday (5/10) tomorrow.

“A lot of people make their own mistakes, especially on easy returns. These are unnecessary mistakes and shouldn’t be repeated tomorrow,” said Rian.
